Why is it when you look in a pond from shore objects are not what they appear to be?

I believe the objects are what they appear to be, but not where they appear to be. This is due to the bending (refraction) of light waves as they travel through the water. The light coming to your eyes from the objects must pass through water, and then transition to air. The angle at which the light hits the boundary between the air and water determines how much the beam is bent. If you look straight down at an object in the water, it will appear to be in the correct place and orientation, but any other angle change the light, and therefore distorts the image.

Where would you find a quack?
Many many ducksI suggest you go to a pond/lake/river near you and there should be several ducks. The bigger the lake, the more ducks there are. OR in an area where they migrate to. Look for an area with a small pond: ducks don't like deep water. Also look for a pond with cattails lining its shore. They like to hide in the cattails.But the truth is is there is no one type of environment ducks like to hang out in. Really, it depends on the personality of the individual duck.
